jpg Back: "Studio Orthophonic, Rome – Tracks 1, 3: "Arrangements et direction musicale: Ennio Morricone" – Tracks 2, 4: "Bruno Nicolai"
jpg A-side label: "Mon ami de toujours: Arr. du mus. E. Morricone" – "Le casse: Arr. du mus. Bruno Nicolai"
jpg B-side label: "Pas vu, pas pris: Arr. du mus. E. Morricone" – "Rodeo: Arr. du mus. B. Nicolai"
jpg The EP does not list a choir credit or production year.
Morricone is credited for arranging and also conducting the two vocal tracks. Nicolai is credited for conducting the instrumental tracks.
This might explain why the EP (mistakenly?) ascribes arranger credit for the two instrumental pieces to Nicolai, and not to Morricone.
